Lac Blenac in Côte-Nord: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  In Quebec, Lac Blenac falls inside Côte-Nord. It stands 463 metres above sea level. Roughly 1.73 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. With 6.4 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. It is among the larger waters listed here for Côte-Nord. Some 243 km away sits Labrador City, the nearest settlement. Saguenay is the closest city, 818 km away. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Lac Blenac

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Côte-Nord include logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Work Lac Blenac in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -24°C in January to roughly 12°C in July. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Ice-out usually falls in early June, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Expect the water usable from around early June until roughly late October. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Lac Blenac.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lac Hericourt is 4.2 km distant. Nothing on Lac Blenac should be assumed from this page alone.
